As part of our latest funding round (pre-Series A), I need to find a CEO to run our new Herndon, VA office and build a sales and marketing team. The ideal candidate has both startup and enterprise experience with U.S. companies, or European companies who have a large number of U.S. Show More Summary

This is a bit of a rant and has nothing to do with Information Security so if you want to move on I’ll understand. I’ve noticed lately that professional courtesy has taken a nose dive. Some examples from both work and outside of work. At work I deal with colleagues from all over the world. […]

OK, so there will not be a final version of this post. Yesterday I finished editing it and went to post it and apparently WordPress are it. It is gone. Not in drafts. Not in trash. Nowhere. Oh well, I guess it wasn’t meant to be. For those of you who saw the post […]

Back in the spring when Google announced that they were shutting down Reader I was forced to start looking for a replacement. Over the years I’ve tried several different readers but never found any that seemed to fit my likes quiet like Google Reader did. So I looked at those I’d tried in the past […]

I was sitting in a Starbucks the other morning having coffee and catching up on some reading. There was lots of background noise so I was trying to focus on my reading when I heard the lady at the table next to me say “… it’s a precursor to selling drugs”. For some reason my […]

Update: This week has been full of incidents where I’ve done, said, or thought something only to find out that someone else has been on that exact same path.

OK, It’s mid February 2014 and my blogging frequency has suffered greatly for the last 2 or 3 years. I’m not even sure if anyone still reads this but I really want to get back into a regular posting. One of the primary reasons that I’ve not posted much is because of time. By the […]

I’ve been struggling lately with personal productivity. Specifically with ensuring that the things that I’m doing are productive and the right things. As with most of us I have way too much in life. There are things that I want to do and things that I need to do. It’s not always easy to distinguish […]

Spoiler Alert: This has nothing to do with security or leadership and everything to do with my erratic ramblings. It’s funny how life, time, and desire can change you. Back in 2007 I got my first “Smart Phone”. It was a Samsung Black Jack. I got it because I wanted a phone that was close […]

All of us are leaders. Some of us have positions where we lead others “officially”. I mean that we have direct reports or we have been named as the “leader” of a team or project. Some of us don’t have the “official” designation but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t leaders and that we can’t […]
